The patch titled
arch/powerpc: eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmem
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
arch-powerpc-eliminate-null-test-and-memset-after-alloc_bootmem.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: arch/powerpc: eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmem
From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>
As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b,
alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
functions is unnecessary.
This was fixed using the following semantic patch.
